Stroker or W7?

Let's get to the point here though. Strokers are not comparable to W7's in any way other than they both can get loud in different situations. W7's will kill the stroke down low for sure, however the Stokers do high tunes very well. Sorry to say that they dont move 25 mm however. Talk to someone who's actually used them in installs..they move around 11mm before making noise, which is NOT xmax. Just because they're listed at 25 mm doesnt mean it happens. If you want a great SQ sub that gets real low, go with the W7. If you want a great SPL sub, go with the Stroker. Hope my post didnt hurt anyones feelings heh....

In regards to your pissing match with Chad7n7, you lose. YOU were the one who said the Stroker was made to be comparable to the W7, not him (Chad7n7 actually has it the other way around. Although I don't totally agree with his statement, I won't argue it at this time). Chad7n7 correctly states that the Stroker has been around quite a bit longer than the W7, therefore it could not be made to be comparable to the W7 based on this point of reference.

Something that hasn't really been touched on yet is the cost difference. Everyone complains that the W7 costs so much compared to other subs of equal/"greater" quality. The Strokers, unless they have come way down in price, will cost even more than the W7's, almost 2 times more in fact. So I would take that into consideration as well when deciding which sub the original poster goes with...

That's what you said. And Chad7n7 never said anything about the Stroker being comparable to the W7. Rather, he phrased it the other way around. So I misread what you posted, as did you with what Chad7n7 said. Guess we're both wrong, eh?

Well, I did say something wrong. What I should have said was the W7 was never designed to be comparible to the Stroker, since the Stroker came out first. The only wrong thing i saw in his post which i DID argue was that the was that the W7 was supposed to be equivalent to the original stroker, which it wasn't. Wish there was a JL rep on this board..that would clear things up a bit.

I would agree with you there on what you have said. Never hurts to clear things up

lol good, glad we got that cleared up..
